Powerful photography and video services

Professional photography and video services including Portrait Photography, Brand photography, Corporate photography, Event photography, Fashion photoshoots, Product photography and Food photography.

Yorkshire photographer working in Leeds, Bradford, Manchester and London. I’m available to work wherever you need me to be.

As a photographer and now also a video creator, it’s ALL about the quality of work. To create something visually dramatic, perhaps emotive alongside those key essentials to make sure the photograph or video is doing and saying the right thing for the brief. Whether it’s a corporate headshot, brand photoshoot or a sports kit needing to be photographed, my attention to the important details never wavers. My standards for quality production are as high as can be and you will only ever get photography or video content that I am proud to give to you. 

See below a mixture of the projects I have enjoyed crafting in the last few months and years. Let me know how I can help you?

Cycling Sportswear and Activewear Photography

Cycling Sportswear and Activewear Photography

Activewear photography is probably my favourite thing to shoot for my range of clients. It’s that mix of partially sports and partially fashion photography combined. The balance is to create activewear photography that makes the product look great while the athletes/models are using it. My preferred look and mood is when the athletes just do their thing and I’m floating around, laying by the side of a road or ahead photographing them as they scale a mountain. Or photographing them in between sessions as they munch on bars and take a drink, just hanging out as cyclists do, hanging off their handlebars. I think getting the right models/athletes for the job is vital to give it the right mood/tone and voice. For most jobs the model selection is led by myself to help the client. If the models have been chosen well then my job becomes much easier and the brand style rises to the top. This particular shoot I was invited to photograph the new range of gear over a long weekend in southern Spain. Springtime can be lovely their but on this occasion the weather was little up and down. In a couple of days we photographed a large range of gear in standing posed scenarios and of course some fun photographing them climbing up and down the local mountain range

Grime photography - Leeds

Grime photography - Leeds

Grime photography stands out for me, the music and the artists who create. It has a relative short history alongside other music types but in its short time a real defined feel to everything about it, to the music of course but also those who produce it. How they look, behave and the culture of the scene. My aim initially is to photograph the local grime artists in Leeds and maybe document the places they produce their work including shooting the head to head battles. From there who knows, London is where it all started so maybe my work will take me there too.

Sport brand photography

Sport brand photography

An early start to the day to meet a new friend for some sports brand photography on a very cold and wet day. After and initial poor start, very cold and windy with low light I started with using a very small strobe but quickly decided against that. Just wasn’t the look I wanted to achieve I had conceived before the day. So with the weather gods behind us, we managed to shoot outside and make use of this amazing brutalist architecture, peering through gaps in the walls as India flew past. Hats off to her for being amazing and happy for me to direct the whole shoot in pretty bad conditions.

Band music photographer

A very good friend of mine has been playing/performing in a band for years. A real lover of Blues and rock and roll and was my pleasure to photograph his band practicing one winter evening. This band music photography is nothing new but I enjoy creating and this documentary style of band photography. It would be nice to do more of this kind of photography. Such fun listening to what they play as I work.

Fashion photography - Leeds, Manchester and London

I scouted for locations for this fashion photography shoot, looking for something that was plain but interesting in texture. On a relatively sunny day I found quite a few places but fell upon a lovely location - a communal outside space with raised beds full of palms and against the flats in the background with the sun shining, it almost had a California look to it (well sort of). The next day came working with Lucy and a firm idea of look and mood. I got her working the look perfectly, she’s a great newbie on the scene but sure she will do well. However sadly for us, this day was cold and rain came down within the first hour… so off to shoot inside from a window, making the most of our time together.

Product photography

Product photography

As the world goes into lockdown to counter the Coronavirus it was time to look for another way to be resourceful as a photographer and still keep working. Product photography came to mind and with no previous experience but with a spare room full of studio lights I made a start. First off to photograph the bottle, then the fruit and with some Photoshop wizardry to composite them all together to hopefully create a dramatic hero shot.

I look forward to creating more product photography and food photography in the coming weeks and months. If your business needs some product photography, looking for another creative approach, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

More brand sports photography on this one with Georgina. I always try to do something different wherever possible so decided on this one to shoot in a skate park. Once the rain and clouds passed by we had beautiful reflective areas to work in creating the most lovely light. Every shoot photographing sports brand work is always a fun creative day.

Skateboarding photography

As the part of a larger set of personal projects I’ve set myself for 2020 the first one on the list was to meet up with some local skateboarders. The first awesome guy I met was Denham, a freestyler with skills that astound me. On this first session I just asked him to show me what he could do and see how much I could capture. After the first session I’m very excited to see where this one is going to take me. I’ll be experimenting with digital and film to capture what we get up to.

Hockey photography

While working for the European Hockey Federation I had the privilege of meeting Janne Müller-Wieland, German field hockey captain and seeing her in action playing a semi final against the green army. It’s always impressive and amazing to see the level of fitness and skill from elite athletes, putting in perspective the high level they compete at. A really nice lady to meet and hope to photograph her again soon.

Running brand photography

It’s lovely to make new friends in the sports world and from time to time i set myself projects and invite some of those awesome people to take part. This time was in Yorkshire with a bunch of very talented runners to take some sports lifestyle type running photographs. The direction of the shoot was my own.
Huge thanks to all who took part and looking forward to the next session with those who couldn’t make it this time.

Velotec cycling kit performance photography

It’s such a pleasure to be asked to work with a client on multiple occasions. Helps to convince me what I’m doing works! Velotec asked me again to shoot at the Boardman Performance Centre to document the process of testing out their new line of speedwear. Lovely client and nice place to work on a cold December day.

Lovely to receive work from local businesses, especially when its creating sports brand photography. I spent one weekend scouting out locations for the shoot, picturesque Yorkshire moorland as a backdrop then the following week photographing the cycling kit. Both cyclists I sourced I had met before, photographed at cycling races somewhere along the way. It’s a small world and nice to pick up new friends along the way to work with and work for!
